Mo Brooks wins the Republican nomination for Alabama Congressional District 5

Al.com: HUNTSVILLE, AL -- Mo Brooks has won the Republican nomination for 5th Congressional District without a runoff.

Brooks said incumbent Parker Griffith called him and conceded just a few minutes ago.

Brooks won 51 percent of the vote (35,712) to Griffith's 33 percent (23,494). Les Phillip won 16 percent (11,066). 

Bummer!  I introduced all of you to Les Phillip on this blog. I admit I wasn’t watching this race a closely as I should have. I thought his kicking video might have been just the thing to move him up. 

It is rather disheartening to see him come in behind Democrat turn Republican Parker Griffith. Why on earth were Republicans voting for Griffith?  Before some silly lefty raise the color thing, white Ron Sparks beat black Artur Davis for the Democrat nomination gubernatorial primary.

Are there any Alabama readers who followed these races who want to tell us some first hand accounts?

Testosterone is making a comeback in the GOP. Meet Dale Peterson

Until recently, when asked to think of the biggest and baddest SOBs of the GOP only women’s names came to mind. Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and now Jan Brewer. But times are a changing and testosterone is making a comeback among male Republicans. My governor, Chris “Two Stones” Christie and Lt. Col. Allen West are examples of the new unapologetically conservative males. Now here comes Dale Peterson to join them.

Soggy cucumber and mayonnaise sandwiches like Romney and Pawlenty had better stock up on the Viagra now, because wishy-washy simply won’t do for 2012.
